Has it really been 45 years?

I really have a hard time believing that 45 years have passed since I graduated from high school. Time flies sooooo fast!! But thankfully, it stops occasionally and we gather for a reunion and we have such a good time seeing old friends, sharing stories and laughing. For my family and school friends, here we are last Saturday night........laughing and having a great time!!!

It was so good to see so many friends. Linda Rosenquist Hilsenbeck and Tom Rowley arrived after we took the photo. Several classmates who could not attend sent letters, and we remembered classmates, David Griggs and Joe Weiss who have passed away. We hope that those that couldn't attend this reunion will make it for our 50th, as we all plan to be back at the same place in five years!

In my last post, I promised I'd share quilty stuff. I'll get to it soon. :-) In the meantime, have a good Friday! I am looking forward to good day as I'm meeting a fellow blogger and for those of you that have met other bloggers, you know how much fun that can be!! Back soon..........

I have made it to only one reunion....the one everyone says you should skip--#5 (not enough years have passed, still too much the "high school" attitude/thinking!). Now that you bring up the numbers, I guess it's been a few for me, also (grad. in '64)!!! Lovely post!

What fun! Can you believe it - I've never been to a high school reunion....I've never even gotten an invite, so I don't guess my school has had any. :(By the way - you got great new glasses...I'm getting my new ones this week. They'll be progressives - are yours? If so, are they hard to get used to? Eep!

Welcome.........

I hope the stories and photos that I share will inspire and encourage your creativity and provide a pleasant little memory, too! Some days I'll write about quilting, some days about friends, places I've visited, projects, patterns, and more. I've spent more than 40 years stitching and creating and am enjoying this blogging journey that allows me to share my story with all of you!

The Gentle Art.........

has provided threads for many of the projects that I share on my blog. Check them out at www.thegentleart.com !!! I love their hand-dyed/over-dyed floss that is available in so many gorgeous colors and equally beautiful names. They add just the right touch to the pieces that I embroider or embellishments added to wool and applique projects!

A beautiful quote...........

Rae Ann over at Cutie*Pinwheel blog shared this quote on her blog last Thanksgiving. I love it and asked her if I might include it here on my blog. Permission granted, so here it is.........
"Gratitude left unexpressed is like living in a dark world. Light up your life by expressing the gratitude you feel in your heart... especially for others." Quote by Rae Ann

And this one is from me.......

"I love making happy happen!"

It was inspired by a news report that said Monday, January 17 was the saddest day of the year. I decided to make it happy by sending e-mails to my quilty friends. It was a way to get rid of the sadness and make me some "happy"!!

The more you give..........

I didn't write this poem. It was posted on the bulletin board at the company I worked at many years ago. I never knew who wrote the poem because it just said "author unknown". I just recently learned that the poem is by Helen Steiner Rice. I love her poems and greeting card verses. I should have known it was written by her. I've added the correct title and her name. There is a great deal of truth in the poem. I just like what it says........Give Lavishly! Live Abundantly!

The more you give, the more you get.The more you laugh, the less you fret.The more you do unselfishly,the more you live abundantly.The more of everything you share,the more you'll always have to spare.The more you love, the more you'll findthat life is good and friends are kind.For only what we give away,enriches us from day to day.
